Project 113’s locomotive will pull Schuylkill County’s only steam-powered Santa trains in December
Steam-powered Santa trains will operate from Minersville on two days this year: Saturday, the 11th of December, and Sunday, the 12th of December. Three trips each day will travel from the Minersville Station to south of Schuylkill Haven and back, a fifteen-mile, 70-minute round-trip, with departures at 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. Santa rides every train and talks with every child! Railway Restoration Project 113 maintains and operates the steam locomotive that pulls the trains – Schuylkill County’s only steampowered Santa trains in 2021 – and the Reading & Northern Railroad provides the coaches. Tickets cost $17 for every person 12 years old and up and $9 for every child 3-11; those under 3 ride free. Every rider of every age requires a ticket. Families and anyone else wishing to ride may order their tickets by sending a check, made out to Project 113, to Project 113 Santa Train, 113 East Sunbury Street, Minersville PA 17954. Please indicate the date and time of the train you wish to ride,
